How many CREATIONISTS don't believe that we orbit the sun?

    Geocentric viewpoint. Go outside and look up. From our viewpoint the sky looks like its moving.

    JeffT, the sun certainly does appear to move. That is why they believed that it actually does move. Explaining all of these scriptures away as being poetic is not logical.

    E.g. Ecclesiastes 1:5
    The sun rises and the sun sets,
    and hurries back to where it rises.

    Why does the sun "hurry back to where it rises"?

    Notice also how Ecclesiastes 1:5 is part of a list of things that are described as literally moving. Verses 6 and 7 speak about the wind and the streams. They all return to their places to start again.
